Fortinet Work Experiences
- 2.0Weird management cultureSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeWideJuly 31, 2015Pros: Great technology and company vision. The company and its finances are strong and well-positioned for future growth. Co-workers are very good and essentially willing to help, but management is an issue (see below).Cons: Mgmt in EMEA/INTL is very French and has no real focus. Lots of internal politics and unwillingness to interoperate between regions and teams.
- 1.0Loud Mandarin, No GrowthRelease QA Engineer • Current EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaAugust 31, 2022Pros: The company is stable and growing.Cons: A lot of Asian Chinese, they will bluntly speak Mandarin in meetings. It's unlike anything you have seen anywhere. Working from the office is a big pain, as there are Chinese everywhere, and they don't show any respect for others. They are loud in breakout rooms speaking Chinese. The culture of the management is my way or the highway. No learning in release QA, even though there is so much to learn in different products.
- 5.0Great company to work in the BC areaSoftware Development Engineer • Current EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaAugust 18, 2019Pros: Very competitive salary, stock benefit, and overtime dinner. People are very nice and helpful. It's a good choice for work-life balance.Cons: Some teams are still using old technologies and workflows.
